There won't be any new industrial machines touting the Massey Ferguson logo any time soon. Since 1997, placing the MF badge on these heavy machines ceased to exist. This timely book identifies a total of 26 basic types of industrial equipment produced and marketed by Massey Ferguson. There are three supporting chapters on early, pre-1964 Massey-Harris, Ferguson and early Massey Ferguson industrial equipment. Plus, a chronology of the development of MF_s factories, and a short history of the development of shuttle transmissions are included. This book provides a valuable reference text and identification guide.
